A pair of Greater New Milford-area residents reigned as champions recently when the New Milford Tennis & Swim Club hosted the 2012 New Milford Open tennis tournament.

The event was presented Sept. 22-23 by Union Savings Bank with competition in multiple men's and women's age-group singles and doubles divisions.

Among those claiming titles were John Arnhold, of Bridgewater, in the men's 55 and older singles division, and Ellen O'Donnell, of New Milford, and partner Zine E. Mazouzi, of Danbury, in mixed doubles.
